If you’re thinking about installing a gas line for a new clothes dryer, you might be wondering whether it’s a DIY job. The short answer? Not usually.
While some experienced DIYers may feel confident handling it, gas line installation comes with serious safety risks. One wrong fitting or loose connection could cause a gas leak—putting your home and family in danger.
Why DIY Gas Line Work Is Risky
Most hardware stores sell gas dryer installation kits with the basic components, but that doesn’t mean they include everything. Knowing which fittings to use and where is key, and that knowledge usually comes from hands-on training—not a YouTube video.
Even if you feel capable, local building codes might not allow you to install gas lines on your own. Some cities and counties require a licensed professional to do the job—no exceptions. Before touching a gas line, always check with your local building authority to find out what’s allowed.
